How to add API Key on google calendar

[danionescu0]

Hi there. Fist of all i like your project it looks great! I've already replicated part of it:) But for the part of the integration with Google Calendar API i'm having some issues. Now that the code has migrated from OAUTH and a local server to directly accessing the Google Calendar API i can't get it working because in My Google Calendar API / Credentials section i only have two options: OAuth 2.0 Client IDs and Service Accounts.

Is this a coutry based limitation, or maybe i'm not looking in the right section of the configuration?

thanks!

Thanks, glad you like it. As for the Calendar bit....So much for simplicity :)

Even though I made my calendar public (by publishing to web) I needed an API key or Google would bounce me.

One thing I had to do was set my API key to unrestricted access. Maybe that helps?

Thank you for the very quick response, i've also made a test calendar public. But i don't know how to create that API Key yet. I thought it was simple :)

I've created a new calendar project and now it lets me add te API key I'm using this api to try read events from the calendar

API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" TIME_MIN="2023-05-21T00:00:00Z" TIME_MAX="2023-05-28T23:59:59Z"

curl "https://www.googleapis.com/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?key=${API_KEY}&timeMin=${TIME_MIN}&timeMax=${TIME_MAX}"

But it sais not found, still it seems that i'm on the right track thanks

The API key needs to replace the bit in the quotes on the code. That should do it :)

Shell replaces my variables defined before, but still the project seems not found, maybe there is more on the configuration side, i need to dig into that

Ok got it working, i should have use the calendar in (in form of an email address), my calendar was not primary. Thanks for your help, this resource really helped a lot https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials
